Christianity is a religion of redemption. As such, people who believe they're already inherently good will have a more difficult time accepting the christian gospel as opposed to those who recognize that they're flawed.

Then you have people lining up to see Joel Osteen preach, countless homophobes, and whore shaming abstinence only education types.
People who go to see JO are gullible, not bad people. Being a Christian doesn't mean you can't be fooled.
As for the other elements, the tide is (thankfully) starting to turn in many circles. You can believe something to be a sin without having negative interactions with others and ceasing to treat them as dignified people.

Yeah possibly but I just don't think I'll ever view homosexuality as a sin. I might be wrong, but I just don't think that's healthy way to view someone.
That element, and the science stuff, I just don't think I'll ever resolve. I love the idea of divine forgiveness, and accountability for your actions to your community(something the Protestants don't like because of the clergy) but the fundamental doctrine I just don't think I'll ever agree with. Who knows. Prodigal son and all that. Maybe I'll change.
